Mathcar Racing


Resource Type: Online Activities

Mathcar racing is a game that not only provides practice for arithmetic skills but also challenges students' logic and reasoning abilities. The student selects a problem from the matrix and is awarded the sum of the expression. If at the end of the game the student has the largest score, or has completed the most laps on the racetrack, he or she wins. In order to consistently win, students must play defensively as well as offensively, thus, developing a strategy to win. It should be noted that the multiplication and division levels include negative numbers. The only downside is the use of pop-up ads, which may be distracting.
